COVID-19 and Pets: Resources and Action Items from PIJAC

Over the past week as the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly evolved, PIJAC has been on
the front lines taking action to ensure the health and well-being of everyone
in the responsible pet care community and the animals we care for. On Friday we
coordinated an ongoing outreach effort representing over 300 (and growing)
pet-related businesses and organizations to urge government officials seeking
to impose social distancing measures to exempt businesses and services that
provide for the food, housing and medical needs of pets from mandatory retail
closures.

If you would like to add your signature and support to this open letter,
please go to PIJAC’s new web page containing information, resources and action
items related to pets and the COVID-19 crisis: pijac.org/covid19

We also urge you to download and send the letter to your local and state
government, regulatory and media contacts. Let
us know who you’ve sent it to. If you get any media
inquiries, we’re happy to help you respond or provide a national
perspective.

Also on the page at pijac.org/covid19,
you’ll find links to the latest information on pets and COVID-19 as shared by
our partners in pet care at Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other medical
community experts, as well as advice on precautions to take, and how to
communicate with your customers.
